⚠️DUE TO IRANIAN SHIPPING ATTACKS (next report), most analysts believe the U.S. WILL ATTACK Iran tonight.  
The assumption is it will be “another round”, with a limited focused U.S. attack, and an Iranian response at U.S. sites in the Gulf Arab States.
BUT Iran could fire a few missiles at Israel, and the situation could expand quickly.  Low likelihood, but possible.
🇮🇷IRAN ATTACKS YET ANOTHER SHIP - another oil tanker hit in the Strait of Hormuz, this type by Iranian drone.  3rd ship of the day.
The first ship attacked, “is at risk of explosion due to a fire that continues to burn in the engine room.”
.. While we were writing, a report of a 4th tanker hit by Iran while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz via the Omani Corridor under the US protection.
🇩🇪STATING THE OBVIOUS - German Foreign Minister: Hezbollah is the source of problems in Lebanon.
🇹🇷TURKISH LEADER ERDOGAN - with President Trump visiting Turkey, “We were promised 5 (F-35) jets.”
🇹🇷 v 🇮🇱 - an incident recently occurred in the sea, where a Turkish naval vessel approached and interfered with the course of an Israeli Navy exercise in the Mediterranean Sea.
In order to prevent escalation and direct friction, the Israeli Navy vessels were forced to alter their course.

▪️SHEKEL CONTROL - The Bank of Israel continues to try to weaken the shekel, which has gained almost 25% in value over the past 6 months hurting exporters but helping consumers.   This report says they intervened in the dollar market: purchasing $1.02 billion in June.
▪️TEL AVIV vs. SYNAGOGUE - The Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court rejected the municipality's request to evict the "Gvurot Israel" synagogue, which has been operating in the city for nearly 100 years. Judge Yigal Namrodi sharply criticized the municipality, stating that it had abused the legal process and exerted undue pressure to force the synagogue to sign a new lease agreement, which required the synagogue to allow activities in direct conflict with its religious values.
♦️IDF ELIMINATES ANOTHER HAMAS COMMANDER - The IDF and Shin Bet have eliminated a commander of a Nukhba terror squad and the commander of the military intelligence unit of Hamas.  
▪️ELECTION POLITICS - A new (right leaning) pop-up party via MK’s Tropper and Hendel, “Foundations of Israel”.  "The (next) government will be based solely on Zionist parties."  A number of well known political names are joining, though it is noted MK Hendel has now been part of 7 parties.  Unclear if they can get any significant public support.

🇺🇸CANCELLING SANCTIONS - in a surprise move, the U.S. is cancelling the ‘suspension of sanctions on sales of oil’ that was put in place as part of the ceasefire with Iran.  Without this, no country can pay for oil from Iran through the international banking system.
Iran responds: condemns Washington’s move to reimpose the ban on Iranian oil sales, calling it a clear breach of Article 10 of the war‑ending memorandum and holding the U.S. responsible for the consequences.
🇺🇸U.S. ATTACKS IRAN - Explosions on Sirik Island, Qeshm Island, Shahid Hakani port, and Bandar Abbas in south Iran.  Iranian media: 16 explosions occurred in the Kashmar and Hormozgan areas.
CENTCOM: ‘U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway.’
Per US sources, the targets attacked in Iran were drone launch sites, missile systems, and air defense systems, and cruise missiles.
🇮🇷IRAN - "The response will be sharp and disproportionate. The U.S. has made a serious mistake and is responsible for the consequences."
KUWAIT and BAHRAIN - power outages affecting large parts of these two Gulf Arab states.
⚠️The United States has informed countries in the Gulf region that they should be prepared for the possibility of an Iranian response in the coming hours.

▪️HEAD OF THE SHIN BET SPEAKS - (Shin Bet, Israel Internal Security agency) “We've blurred the lines between what's essential and what's secondary. The lawyers don’t get to decide.”

U.S. “we attacked 80 sites in Iran.”Iran “we attacked 85 U.S. sites in response.”  ( Real response. )
( The only thing missing is “na na na na na”. )
Trump: “We attacked them very strongly yesterday – 20 times more than before. They are a group of sick people, I don't like them – we won't give them nuclear weapons because they are crazy.
They are a cancer, and we need to get rid of this tumor quickly. That's how I feel this morning.  I saw this morning that I am on all of their assassination lists.”
Trump: when asked if the memorandum of understanding is dead: “It's over, it's a waste of time. They are liars.”  ( Unclear what this means in practice. )

📺PHOTO - Smuggling into Gaza, an unusual attempt to smuggle thousands of cigarettes into the Gaza Strip was thwarted. The cigarettes were concealed inside hundreds of FRESH pineapples, which were hollowed out and the edible portion discarded to make room for the cigarettes.
( First, they are getting large fresh pineapples as “aid”, wow!  Very expensive fruit within Israel that many cannot afford.  Second, they can afford to throw it away to get cigarettes in. Third, are we stopping cigarettes to protect their health? … Actually, it’s’ being stopped because Hamas controls and heavily taxes the distribution. )
⚠️HEATING UP - “Preparations are underway to resume fighting against Iran in the coming hours, if the decision is made at the political level. The security establishment is on high alert and prepared for escalation scenarios.

This is a political organization that betrays its purpose.”
▪️NATIONAL FINANCES - The state deficit has decreased to 3.3% - the lowest since the start of the war.

      What is Life?


     The answer depends on what you are asking about. If you are asking about the entity, the actual being, the enlivenment, the life itself, then the best answer comes from a prayer we say a number of times a day. After eating certain foods, we say;
     “Blessed are You, L-rd our G‑d, King of the universe, Creator of numerous living beings and their needs, for all the things You have created with which to sustain the soul of every living being. Blessed is He who is the Life of the worlds.”  
     This is the answer to what the actual life is; Hashem, He is the life within all!
     If you are asking, what is the value or purpose of life, then the best answer is that life is a golden opportunity, an opportunity to improve the world where we are, and an opportunity to gain a wonderful share in the World to Come, the world where we are going.   
     We are all on a journey, heading somewhere after we leave this world. Pack your bags carefully. We don’t take our property with us. All we take are our deeds.

📺VIDEO - IDF discovers and demolishes a significant underground Hezbollah complex, which included prepared rocket launch tunnels, merely 8 km from the Israeli border.

🇺🇸🇺🇸v 🇮🇷🇮🇷 .. IRANIAN STRATEGY - Middle East experts, the regime in Tehran chose to reopen the conflict precisely during the NATO summit and during the funeral of the Supreme Leader, in order to "blow up the agreements" and put the Trump administration in a crisis.  Iran's goal is to undermine Trump's position ahead of the midterm elections by harming American interests and energy prices.
.. MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF U.S. ATTACKS AGAINST IRAN throughout the day, attacking mostly sites in southern Iran and along the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. However, some sites in northern and western Iran were attacked as well, including a notable railway bridge that is a strategic point in the China-Turkmenistan (and on to Russia)-Iran railway corridor.
Afternoon reports state the U.S. attack oil refineries in the Iranian city of Asaluyeh.
.. MULTIPLE MISSILE ATTACKS BY IRAN against Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, U.S. sites in Iraq, and Jordan - the Jordan attacks showing that Iran retains long range strike capability.  3+ rounds of missile fire today.

.. WHO IS ATTACKING IRAN?  A senior American official claims that the U.S. military did not carry out attacks in Iran in the past few hours, but Iranian channels report attacks across multiple locations in Iran in the past few hours.  Who’s attacking Iran?  And it isn’t Israel.
Reports in the last few minutes:  It’s KUWAIT! ( Unconfirmed, but it’s possible. )
.. DEF. MINISTER THREATENS - “We are prepared to attack Iran for the third time, and with greater force than before.”
.. TRUMP GONE QUIET - Channels note, “Notice how unusually quiet Trump is today.”
.. IRAN DEPLOYS special forces soldiers near the border with the Kurdistan region.  Unclear if there are concerns of Kurdish invasion (possible), or the reverse, plans to infiltrate into Iraq to hit American sites.

🔪ATTACK ON A MINISTER THWARTED - Security detained an individual in central Israel who was loitering near a building entrance where Finance Minister Smotrich was meeting.  Oddly, it was subsequently reported during interrogation he was a Shin Bet agent.
▪️PRISON WTF - in a public meeting of prison guards today with Nat. Sec. Minister Ben Gvir, a senior guard asked to address the minister: "Once, the imprisoned terrorists would send me to buy them fruit at the market. Thank you for restoring our honor.” ( Before the war, senior imprisoned terrorists were given significant privileges, if they would keep the prison calm. Following the invasion and massacre by Hamas, the terror prisoners in Israeli prisons were and are treated with strong discipline and extreme control. )
▪️WHAT HAPPENS IF THE IDF GETS WHAT THEY ASKED FOR?  Haredi channels are reporting, the Jerusalem faction plans to arrive at the police station with hundreds of draft avoiding yeshiva students at the start of the summer break, accompanied by lawyers. This move is intended to demonstrate to the High Court that the army is not prepared to draft masses of haredi individuals, and that all the sanctions are only intended to harm the haredi community.
▪️ELECTION POLITICS - new polls show the new Hendel-Tropper pop-up party gets 4 seats, making it over the threshold, pulling 3 from the left-opposition and 1 from the right-coalition.

✡️Erev (before) Shabbat, Parshat (Torah reading) Matot-Maasei - Moses conveys the laws governing the annulment of vows to the heads of the tribes of Israel. War is waged against Midian for their role in plotting the moral destruction of Israel, and the Torah gives a detailed account of the war spoils and how they were allocated amongst the people, the warriors, the Levites and the high priest.
The tribes of Reuben and Gad (later joined by half of the tribe of Manasseh) ask for the lands east of the Jordan as their portion in the Promised Land, these being prime pastureland for their cattle. Moses is initially angered by the request, but subsequently agrees on the condition that they first join, and lead, in Israel’s conquest of the lands west of the Jordan.

.. 🇮🇷 - Iranian opposition, “At this stage, the missile forces are planning operations, and the moment Ayatollah’s body is buried, they will launch a strong, coordinated attack together with the army."
.. 🇺🇸 - Trump, Vance, Rubio, Witkoff… are silent.

✡️NOTICE - in honor of the holy Sabbath (Shabbat Kodesh), we DO NOT post news from sundown Friday through nightfall Saturday, Israel time - except IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY where information can be life saving (we do passively monitor). 
WAR, or NOT, OVER SHABBAT?  The U.S. and Iran still seem to be operating in a tit-for-tat mode.  The U.S. does not want Israel involved, and Iran is likely concerned Israel’s reaction will not be the current pinpoint attacks.  Similarly, any serious actions by Hezbollah are seemingly being held in reserve by Iran.
HOWEVER, the Houthis might attack Israel to create a distraction for Iran and to be jihadi.  If so, their attacks hit either Israel’s south (Eilat or Be’er Sheva), or a little farther north stretching to Beit Shemesh.
🇺🇸🇺🇸v 🇮🇷🇮🇷 .. 🇮🇷 - IRAN THREATENS ISRAEL - Mohammad-Baqer Zolqadr, Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council of Iran: An attack on Iranian infrastructure will be met with a similar response. The Zionist regime will not be immune from us either.
